A Kalman filter is built in to the Thunderbolt, you just cant directly turn it on or off or set its parameters. A Kalman filter is used to measure and store the frequency drift and temperature drift characteristics of the OCXO and use them to improve the holdover performance. The altitude filter allows the GPS receiver to ignore GPS SVs whose altitude is too low. The static mode is for fixed position operation where either a manually entered or an auto surveyed fixed position is used by the GPS receiver. This allows timing information to be derived from a single visible GPS SV. When more SVs are usable more accurate timing information can be derived.
